Bonding Permanent Grill Next to Pool

Good morning,

I have a situation where I have a permanent gas grill installed near a permanent underground concrete pool. At first, I was under the impression each part of the grill would need to be bonded. However, I havent been able to find anything that seems to address this in article 680. The grill is not installed yet and its possible to relocate it a little further away but I cant seem to find what that distance would be. Any ideas??

(7) Low-Voltage Gas-Fired Luminaires, Decorative Fireplaces,
Fire Pits, and Similar Equipment. Listed low-voltage gas-fi red-
luminaires, decorative fi replaces, fi re pits, and similar equip‐
ment using low-voltage ignitors that do not require grounding,
and are supplied by listed transformers or power supplies that
comply with 680.23(A)(2) with outputs that do not exceed the
low-voltage contact limit shall be permitted to be located less
than 1.5 m (5 ft) from the inside walls of the pool. Metallic
equipment shall be bonded in accordance with the require‐
ments in 680.26(B). Transformers or power supplies supplying
this type of equipment shall be installed in accordance with the
requirements in 680.24. Metallic gas piping shall be bonded in
accordance with the requirements in 250.104(B) and
680.26(B)(7).

That just tells you how close it can be to the pool, if it is electrically powered. If it is non electrically powered (self powered ignitor wouldn't count) you can put it wherever you want, even in the pool. Still doesn't change bonding requirements as mentioned.
